Used item, no tax.
Certified: Tested & inspected with special tools and machinery, found to be working correctly. Any flaws present will be noted and will not affect typical use.
The light meter does not work. The camera is quite worn externally, including scratches on the top and bottom plates and the protective plastic cover for the frame counter being missing. This causes the film advance lever to not always return all the way after winding. The lens has been opened and cleaned. There are a few small scratches/marks that remain on the front element, but they won't affect images. Overall quite worn, but working!

M42

M42 (also known as Pentax Universal) is a screw-type lens mount for SLR cameras. It was originally developed by Carl Zeiss but was adopted by many other manufacturers throughout Europe and Asia. Other notable M42 manufacturers include Praktica, Fujica, Pentax, and Zenit.

M42 is a very simple system with a long flange distance, making adapters simple and common. Many film manufacturers made adapters for mounting M42 lenses to their systems, and they can also be used with modern SLR & mirrorless cameras quite easily. Because it was used by so many companies, there are a huge number of M42 lenses out there, covering every focal length and level of optical quality.
